1998-02-18Dirty looks for plan to move third runway dirt – proposal to use conveyer belts met with skepticism
A Lynnwood contractor proposed using conveyor belts instead of trucks to haul the 23 million cubic yards of fill dirt needed for Sea-Tac Airport's third runway construction in the late 1990s. The plan would have barged dirt to Des Moines, then carried it 2.5 miles to the airport via belt, cutting the estimated haul time from five years to two and a half. Des Moines residents, already angry about the runway routing air traffic over their downtown, reacted skeptically and accused the contractor of trying to bribe the city with promises of new parks in exchange for cooperation.
